It just hit me... How good would this team be with a healthy AV?

It hit me during the streak. With AV, we would be nearly unbeatable. It's insane how much talent is actually on this roster.

This has only happened 6 times in NBA history. Last time was 1987. I believe would have got it had it not been such a blow out.

Cavs had this stat line with 5 minutes left in 4th when they started pulling the starters out...

Irving 21, Lebron 27, Mozgov 17, Irving, 22, Smith 21

Unreal


Most players, 20 or more points, game
5 - Boston vs. Los Angeles, April 19, 1965
5 - Philadelphia vs. Boston, April 11, 1967
5 - Phoenix at Los Angeles, May 23, 1984
5 - Boston vs. Milwaukee, May 15, 1986
5 - L.A. Lakers vs. Boston, June 4, 1987
5 - Boston vs. L.A. Lakers, June 11, 1987

Best starting 5 in the world.

Boring game

I sometimes wonder if trading for Mozgov earlier saves Andy from getting hurt.

Do they give up 2 firsts for Timo if Andy doesn't go down? Andy being hurt forced them to make a move that I'm not sure they make otherwise.

Mike Miller with a season high 11 towel waves off the bench tonight.

Getting Mozgov, Shump, and JR has completely transformed this team. Mozgov especially.

best game i've seen them play as a collective all year

Also the injury exception we got for Andy was used in one of the two trades.

Hmm... I think it would have helped but AV has some awful luck so who knows.

He'll never overtake Wally's ass slaps

Mavericks game thread.

One user: "Rondo was brought here to play defense, not stacking assists."

Lets talk about them New York Boys(as LeBron called them a few weeks back):

JR. Just masterful tonight refinding his pure 3p stroke but also doing something we often lacked early in the season from the SG position: rebound. 8 rebounds tonight in just 29 minutes played. With TT out for most of the game that board help was needed and necessary.

Shump: Great D all game, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 6 steals!

Thank you Phil Jackson

Phil Jackson thought he was screwing us again, This time he has no Jordan and it backfired on him. No really they have been amazing.
